| Function |
E3 protein ligase that mediates ufmylation, the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like modifier UFM1 to substrate proteins, a post-translational modification on lysine residues of proteins that may play a crucial role in a number of cellular processes. Mediates DDRGK1 ufmylation and may regulate the proteasomal degradation of DDRGK1 and CDK5RAP3 thereby modulating NF-kappa-B signaling (PubMed:20018847, PubMed:20164180, PubMed:20228063, PubMed:25219498). May also through TRIP4 ufmylation play a role in nuclear receptors-mediated transcription (PubMed:25219498). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20018847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20164180, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20228063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25219498}.
